Abstract
A sensor element for determining at least one property of a gas in a measuring gas chamber, in particular for detecting a gas component in a gas mixture. The sensor element includes at least one cell having at least one first electrode, at least one second electrode and at least one solid electrolyte connecting the first electrode and the second electrode having a solid electrolyte material. The sensor element further includes at least one carrier element made of a carrier material, the carrier material having a lower ionic conductivity than the solid electrolyte material. The carrier element is configured and situated to confer mechanical stability on the cell.
